About risk profile:
- Mastodon is like email because you can't delete federated toots
- Mastodon is like twitter in that Google's search bots index it, unless your admins robot.txt it away
- Mastodon is like being a teenager because the people that own your instance can see all your private stuff
Have a talk with your admin about their policies.
By default, assume everyone will be able to read your toots forever.
Reactions to this are two-fold:
- This is so basic and it doesn't need to be said.
- Oh shit.
Ignoring that I was drunk when I wrote it, I think it's important to point out how the system works because non-techies just kinda crap their social graph into apps without realizing the full ramifications. Do you know who reads your data off the flappybirdsite firehose? Of course not.
Here you at least have the option of knowing and working with an admin you trust.
